Town chairman David Sheepshanks has denied reports that Birmingham City owner David Sullivan is keen to buy Town.

Reports over the weekend suggested Sullivan, who is currently selling Birmingham to Carson Yeung, wants to buy Town once the sale is completed but any take over rumours have been denied by Town chairman David Sheepshanks.

Mr Sheepshanks: "To my knowledge the story linking David Sullivan to Ipswich Town has no foundation.

"By coincidence I met David and his fellow Birmingham director David Gold at Royal Ascot last Thursday where we had all been invited as guests.

"I have known both for several years through our football dealings and we had a general chat. But nothing more."
